Germany’s investment gap with US reaches up to EUR 730 billion, Allianz says

By Public Technologies
  • Allianz Research identified a German investment gap of up to EUR 730 billion relative to the US between 2019 and 2025.
  • Closing the shortfall requires private capital, supported by simpler permitting, pension reform and risk-sharing investment structures; public spending alone is insufficient.
  • Redirecting 5% of German households’ financial assets from deposits into productive investments could mobilize around EUR 450 billion.
  • Germany’s energy transition requires around EUR 1.3 trillion by 2045, creating investment opportunities in power infrastructure.
  • Digital infrastructure needs EUR 275 billion–EUR 500 billion by 2030, with multiyear grid-connection queues the main constraint.
